132 Mr. Timmins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children, further to Parliamentary Question No. 329 of 26 January 2005, the position in regard to a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow; if the decision will be re-examined and this person treated as speedily as possible; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13472/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for orthodontic services. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's eastern regional area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
